So if we spent up to $120k per year for 5 years, we'd be better off. That is basically giving that guy his own psychologist for 5 years. You have to imagine we could have one psychologist treat at least a half dozen of these dudes per year.]]>Finger gunhttps://www.techdirt.com/blog/wireless/articles/20150218/05533430065/verizon-makes-it-very-clear-its-spectrum-crunch-never-existed.shtml#c18

Mass surveillance is a serious issue and Marco Rubio is actually the one making light of it. His meh-its-no-big-deal attitude is a problem and by satirically pointing out that Marco should be subject to it, he is bring the seriousness of the situation to the forefront.]]>Me toohttps://www.techdirt.com/articles/20141217/06121329459/game-developer-deploys-interesting-sales-strategy-telling-fans-not-to-buy-his-game-as-gift-others.shtml#c206

You say dying industry, but as the article points out, the film industry is booming.

To be more exact, top-down industry representation is dying. Groups like the MPAA just aren't really needed any more and their support is drying up, slowly but surely.
